>> reporter: hey, ari. we're with wbbh tv here. we are coming to you live from the city of cape coral. this is the largest city on the southwestern part of southwest florida and many people are bratsi bra bracing for a direct impact with hurricane irma. this is just to the "washington post" -- west of ft. myers. this area has a series of canals that lead out to the gulf of mexico to give homeowners an easy way to get out to the gulf if they want to. via boat while it does make some parts of the city more attractive for homeowners, it is not a good thing when you are talking about a major hurricane heading towards the city. storm surge is the main concern of many city officials out here. they are worried that that canal system can only help increase the flooding in some areas more inland, areas that would not normally see storm surge but because of this canal system, it may help to push some of that water further inland. we're talking about neighborhoods not right on the coastline. these are areas that are several miles inland here

didn't have money to eat. >> arie got the loan through a program called miles.installment loans and educational services. >> they were going to teach soldiers how to buy an automobile in a responsible way. >> because the monthly car payment was deducted from his army paycheck. arie mistakenly assumed his loan was part of a government program. >> you own the deemership, they have pictures of the post commander all these battalion commanders full uniform shaking the hands of the car dealers. make it, made it look like this is part of the military like the army. >> arie boris agreed to pay three times the blue book value of the truck over the lifetime of the contract. >> not saying he is right. they were wrong to allow things lieks that to happen. >> altogether if we had kept that loan for his $11,000 car he would have paid $31,405.80. >> about right. >> harry got his son out of the loan. and the bureau got refunds for arie boris and 50,000 other members of the military. who had signed up for similar overpriced loans. >> i met two friends, also had done the same th

>> reporter: hey there, ari. right now it's pretty calm where we are, but we're seeing those outer bands come through. as the storm approaches, you kind of get the squalls through, the wind picks up, the rain picks up and then you do have these lulls where you don't have the w wind and rain and as the storm get closer, those get closer and closer together until you're in the sustained wind and sustained rain. we're going to be looking at what forecasters are calling a catastrophic storm surge potentially in thissa area, between 10 and 15 feet in parts of southwest florida. that could be absolutely devastating. a lot of people here talking about that, worried about that. that was a big motivator for a lot of people i talked to that were evacuating. it's also such a flat area that that storm surge has nothing that's going to stop it so it could come up and go for potentially miles inland, if the storm hits at the right tide. so people are very aware that that could be dangerous. when we were out tonight, though, we

i am ari melber. this is "the beat with ari melber." we'll be back at 6:00 p.m. eastern.tonight, 8:00 p.m. right up next, "hardball" with chris matthews starts now. >>> political football. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. once upon a time there were leaders in this very land who faced moments of national horror and did all they could to unite us. there was birmingham in 1963 when people saw fire hoses and police dogs assaulting young african americans. it's when a young president went on nationwide television to say we had to do better. >> we are confronted primarily with a moral issue. it is as old as the scriptures and as clear as the american constitution

arie luyendyk jr. has a scandal brewing.n ex-girlfriend sydney stempfley revealed he broke up with her just one month before being announced as the new "bachelor," many questioned his motives. the 26-year-old receptionist spoke to "e.t." exclusively in a phone interview. >> i found out the way everyone else found out. we dated for over a year. to my knowledge, the the relationship was monogamous. >> welcome, arie. >> reporter: so does our new "bachelor" have commitment issues? it wouldn't be the first time we've seen that happen. >> i don't feel that i'm ready to ask you to marry me. >> there's a report that there are two bachelors. are you one? >> that would be news to me. if the offer were to come up again in the future, i could see myself doing it. it seems like an amazing opportunity. >> never say never. i'll keep my fingers crossed. meanwhile, he has his business, which has grown immensely since the show. you can see why. let's move on to another fit couple. jennifer lopez and alex rodriguez. why does their beverly hill

>> reporter: hey ari. i want to set it up for you. we're standing on miami beach in my home on the balcony. you're look out at downtown miami there. those are some of the islands behind us that people have homes on. then you see the high-rises that are built along biscayne bay behind me. i will say what jose has said and that's the beach has never been more quiet. it's jam packed normally. now there's a handful of cars. he mentioned a bit about andrew. we can make a comparison to show you what the two storms are like if you put them back to back. andrew came in in 1992. was a cat 5 in the water but came on shore as a cat 4 and cut right across the bottom of the state. that went from east to west. the damage was intense. it was damage from south miami and flattened homestead and then moved right out into the gulf. now take a look at irma. irma is just about double the size if you put them together. irma was a category 5 for 69 hours. it's been breaking hours the entire trip over here. that shatters the record. the previous record was 1

. >> so fans were a little surprised when they learned on gma this morning that arie luyendyk jr.nnounced as the new bachelor. he was a 35-year-old contestant in 2012. and he was best known for his nickname, "the kissing bandit." >> since then, he's turned into a bit of a silver fox. the tousled do is making him the first silver bachelor. >> what do you make of this? >> welcome to the club, i guess. silver is in this next season on abc. >> was that an audition, jack? were you applying? >> no, by no means, i'm not. i was, in my research, i came up with this line, arie told someone here at abc that he has not been in love since emily. >> oh, well. >> so these women have their work cut out for them. >> jack is debuting, he had a haircut today, jack. >> i did. i didn't get a haircut, i got them all cut. >> ooh! >> take that for what it's worth. >> it was an emotional -- >> blow-by-blow coverage of arie on theac we're moving on! >> it was a very emotional first day of school for prince george. >> it was. he was guided by the steady hand of his dad. prince william. mom of course indispo

ari fleischer, former white house press secretary to president george w.ush and a fox news contributor. first i want your reaction to that. how do you think he handled the situation? >> the president has done a good job here. he's shown he is organizer in chief. he gets things together and i suspect what he says is tell me what you need, are you getting everything you need, and then that he makes sure they get what they need. >> melissa: do you think it's helpful? you're taking up resources by being there, but at the same time, you then have the director of the president who can do stuff. >> it's absolutely helpful. i went on a couple of those trips with president bush for tornado and fire victims after the massive fires in the west. the first responders who are tired, they were working so hard, they get a boost of extra energy. the president is down there and says thank you, you're saving lives, it's so meaningful to the people who are saving those lives. presidents play a big role in this. >> melissa: that's great to hear. i want to turn into this other

what is going on, ari?split party and the split is playing itself out in unusual ways. that is what primaries do, they split you and then you stay. this is very bold of president trump to jump into this one. he could have stayed out and said i will work whoever wins. he is rolling the dice going in for the underdog, if the underdog wins, luther strange will win, he will owe it to donald trump, the sign after the type of stroke donald trump has in primary and general. melissa: the flip side, if it doesn't work out what does it mean? >> well, if it doesn't work out the president rolled the dice and lost, and that combined with what just happened apparently in the senate, i think most pundits will say it's a bad week for republicans. they can't get their act together. they can't pass policies. the president tried to influence a race and couldn't do it. all which is going to be true but let's wait to see what happens. the election is tuesday. whoever wins that primary will almost assuredly win the general elect

. >> ari, the storm center of irma, category five hurricane is interacting with the northern coast of cuba. but look at the size and the massiveness of this storm. in fact, you can even see some of those clouds getting closer to the border of florida. the storm is still a few hundred miles away. let's take a closer look at the eye and the eye wall. we watched eye wall replacement cycles. that allowed it to weaken and strengthen a bit. but right now, that eye is certainly interacting with the land across cuba. depending on how much interaction we see could really make a difference in terms of intensity, but fortunately not by much. i think we're still going to see a powerful hurricane as it works its way towards florida. the northerly turn is expected to happen tomorrow. right now it's about 300 miles to the southeast of miami florida. certainly getting closer to miami. and the movement is to the west at 13. and we are waiting for a gradual turn to the north-northwest. when that occurs we'll start to get a better idea of exactly where that eye will pass over florida. but it' certainly

>> again, we're a long way away from a criminal prosecution, ari. statute makes it a crime to corruptly solicit contribution from a foreign national. whether dirt on a campaign counts as a contribution is something that a judge would have to decide. his defense is all i did is ask. that's a solicitation. in terms of the act, what we think of as the actus reas, he's done that. >> david, you've sifted a lot of intelligence. how do you sift what can be gleaned from the statement? >> i look at this like an intelligence officer. you look at the information from a source and the recollections of the source through many lens. two of the most important are whether they are reliable and whether they are valid. you look to see whether there's some ground truth to it. the story appears to be changing. we have a lot of questions about the truth. you look at credibility okrecre time. someone else who looks at information the same way, bob mueller. >> how is he going to look at the fact the statement from donald trump junior said i was skeptical of this outreach.

anyway, congratulations to ari.nce he makes it through the senate confirmation hearings he will be sworn in as bachelor. donald trump jr. was in washington today. you remember him? djtj?

i'm going to go to ari and ask him. excuse for drafting a statement like this early on? see if you can come up with one. >> i have tremendous respect for the fbi, i have the deepest thoughts of the integrity of the institution. this is a check in my belief in the integrity of the institutio institution. what we are hearing is if this is true, that investigation, the most high-profile important thing that the fbi is doing was a sham. the only excuse i could think of it i hope this is true is that he also had a similar statement that he was good to bring criminal charges. perhaps he was being diligent, i think if that was the case, the investigators would have found documentation for that as well. they only founded for the exoneration. >> kimberly: that would've been the best way for them to exonerate to say let's play this down a second bridge we actually prepared to in the event, the outcome depending what it was. if they don't have the evidence to substantiate that and he has always said i am meticulous about it, i tak

stoddard, former white house press secretary ari fleischer.ghts on the move, strategy, and the hope democrats will get across the finish line. >> i was pleased to see president trump dealing with congressional democrats. during the -- it's nice to have a period of calm as a close -- d to brinksmanship. i would have referred 18 months but he got three months. as for triangulation, it works when you have two coequal sides and there's a point above the middle of the president can rise above. what you have now is a lopsided trapezoid. it's a town that no longer works well together. i don't think you can say there is one theory that's going to last for long time. the president is transactional. he won't make work what he can make work. it's the one he changed the dynamic last week. mitch mcconnell going out of his way to make sure everybody knew he still has the chip. the debt ceiling, treasury secretary can do some magic. extraordinary measures and move it and it's not a negotiating point for the democrats come december. >> to a large extent the m

ari fleischer, former george w. bush press secretary is here. he is next. alabama. roy moore, the outsider candidate, beating establishment and trump pick luther strange in the crucial gop primary. the victory reverberating throughout republican circles, possibly sign of things to come for the future. here now, ari fleischer, former white house press secretary, fox news contributor. good to see you. >> great to be here. cheryl: this gop primary is seen as referendum on president trump. if it was, he doesn't come out looking so good? >> no, he made his case. he lost his case. i don't think it was referendum on trump. if you ask the media it is referendum on trump. if you ask voters of alabama, it was a choice between two candidates. they went for more outsider candidate. cheryl: what is interesting, you would have thought president trump would have gone for the outsider candidate and he didn't. >> that was a surprise. cheryl: i didn't understand the decision by the president. >> for people that said donald trump represents firebrand new outside of politics,

ari. >> morgan radford, thanks for your reporting.. >>> now back to the fbi digging into sputnik. michael mcfaul, thanks for being here ambassador. you've dealt with sputnik in professional capacity and it's hard to know what to call it. that itself is part of what is under dispute and investigation. walk us through your experience with employees and what you thought of their work. >> i know the people that created sputnik, one an old friend of mine. sputnik, i don't think it's that confusing. like rt, government-funded organizations, russian government organizations, that serve the purposes of the russian state. and by the way, they'll tell you that candidly, don't deny that. and therefore how they do it is complicated and sophisticated i would say. but at the end of the day, rt and sputnik are trying to serve the interests of the russian government, not independent media. period. >> let's start there. not independent media but there is confusion because some of the representatives claim we have links but we have first amendment righ
